This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues.
Cheers!

This week's post is not about teaching. It's about a puppy. Our family's new puppy.

After finding him - this took longer than I had thought possible - it was time to name him. Although, my husband suggested we look online for names that would suit a black Labrador Retriever, my 7-year-old insisted on giving him an original name. Through trial and error of tasting the names on our tongues, we finally agreed on Jackson Benson. And, it suits this 2-month old wonder that we've already fallen in love with.

Jackson hasn't been been with us for three whole days and I can already tell that he is quickly going to become an important member of our family. My son's never going to be the same because of this little black puppy. And, I've been given a second chance to do better with a dog than the last time we had pets. I wasn't very involved then but I'm determined to change that this time around.
